Bumping because I have a similar question: should we buy new iPhones at Apple or VZW? We'll be eligible for upgrades in July & can wait a bit to see how the 5/5s choice pans out. We'd like to go the route with the least trouble & most reliable customer service which, I'm sorry to say, VZW doesn't seem to care much about any more. I prefer to buy in person rather than ordering online from VZW although I'd be willing to order online from Apple to pick up at the store.
We have a local mall with both an Apple Store & a VZW corporate store so access/convenience aren't issues. Have already decided that we'll dump TEC/Asurion with the new upgrade & go with AC+ so if we buy them at the Apple Store will the new devices be added to our VZW account without difficulties? If need be, of course, I could walk down the mall to the VZW store to double-check on account issues but I'd rather not get the phones from VZW if possible.
Thanks for any advice!
